Call for entries: Asking For It exhibition in London

The exhibition seeks to create a place where people can use art as self-expression to share, feel and come together over adversity. The theme for the entries is Sexual Abuse/Violence.

“The exhibition not only looks at the experiences of the survivor but the societal judgments and miseducation around the topic of sexual abuse/violence,” the call reads.

“We believe that art is a powerful tool to express and empower artists and viewers while educating those who have not experienced this. The exhibition will take the viewer on a journey from the beginning to recovery and survival.”

The application deadline is 31 August 2019.
